Hobbs Supports Discriminatory Hiring Practices in Arizona

with Veto of SB 1584


PHOENIX, ARIZONA— Senate Majority Leader Janae Shamp is calling out Governor Hobbs for supporting discriminatory hiring practices within the State of Arizona by vetoing legislation to ban preferential treatment provided to applicants based on sex, race, skin color, and sexuality instead of qualifications, experience, and competence.

 

SB 1584, sponsored by Majority Leader Shamp, would have prohibited state government, and any political subdivisions, from establishing hiring policies that prioritize Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI). This means employers would be banned from using tax dollars to implement radical DEI programs in job postings, required trainings, or any manner that would deprive an individual from an employment opportunity when their skin color, sex, sexual preference, or race doesn't meet an employer's preference. SB 1584 would have also empowered the Attorney General, county attorneys, or any concerned citizen to file for declaratory relief or damages in cases where merit-based hiring standards are violated.

 

"The Governor despicably vetoing this bill demonstrates her support for discrimination and a lack of leadership for refusing to push back against fellow Democrats who support these unethical hiring practices," said Majority Leader Shamp. " I am extremely disappointed, yet not surprised, that Hobbs continues to appeal to the radical left with her tone-deaf veto decisions, rather than support legislation to reform workplace policies that prioritize anything other than talent and hard work. It's truly petrifying that we have a governor who can, without shame, prioritize discrimination and favoritism, over unity and respect for every Arizonan."
